Applying Background Image to shape

November 15, 2021

I’m working on a small web project and I’m currently trying to show a background image as a shaped object. Is it possible to display a regular square background image as a transformed shape like in the image below?

I tried to rotate a div, but then the image itself would be rotated as well.

What are other options that could help me archive an effect like in the image using html/css or js?

Thank you very much in advance.

>Solution :

You can use clip-path in css to build custom shapes. Use this website from Benett Feely as a cheatsheet.

article {
  width: 30vw;
  height: 100vh;
  margin-left: auto;
  background: url(https://picsum.photos/200) center/cover no-repeat;
  clip-path: polygon(24% 0, 100% 0, 100% 100%, 0 100%);
}
